Under the Imperial Civil Service Examination System in Song Dynasty,the Relationship between Social Structure and the Corresponding Changes of its Gender Roles

社会性别理论揭示了性别的社会属性,提出性别是社会制度和社会文化的产物。作为一种重要的社会制度,科举制的结构性要素与行动主体交互作用,深刻影响了中国传统男女角色关系的生产和再生产。本文以宋代为例,从社会学视角探讨科举制下的社会结构与社会性别互动这个问题。

By making explicit the different social attributes possessed by different genders,the social gender theory points out that so-called gender is actually a product of the then-existing social system and culture.As an important kind of social system,the Imperial Civil Service Examination,with the interplay of its essential components and participating agents,has exerted a profound influence upon the defining and redefining of Chinese gender roles in the traditional sense.Taking the Song Dynasty as an example,this article attempts to explore the relationship between social structure and the corresponding changes of its gender roles from the perspective of sociology.
